Notes
'Russian Blue' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'Russian Blue') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to pass it by. This heirloom matures in about 80 days, and bees visit its flowers.
Pairs well with Marketer cucumber, Teddy dill, and Santo cilantro.
